Respond to discussionFirst, consider the following case study background:Because people don’t like to be the bearer of bad news, and are sometimes afraid that their management may “kill the messenger”, employees are often very reluctant to bring unwelcome but critically important project status information to their management. (This is sometimes known as the “mum effect.”) Therefore, it is common that important project status information does not make it to the level of management that can take corrective action to do something about it. In fact, it is typical that the farther up the hierarchy a manager is, the less information he or she will have about the project. Unfortunately, this sometimes means that those who have the authority to change things, are the very people who do not know the necessity of the change and/or who do not have sufficient information to enable an appropriate change.Whistle blowing (see below) is an extreme case of bearing the bad news up the hierarchy. Sadly, whistle blowing can be dangerous to one’s own career. Unfortunately, whistle blowing in some organizations is considered illegitimate behavior bordering on insubordination. Even when people blow the whistle, management can ignore it (sometimes known as the “deaf effect”), essentially saying “don’t give me bad news that I don’t want to hear.”All this is counterproductive to projects, whose success depends on sound decisions and timely corrections of deviance from plan. For instance, issues that are not elevated to the proper decision-maker before they mature into full-blown problems, become a risk to the success of the entire project. If the decision-maker is kept in the dark, or refuses to make a decision, or punishes the bearer of bad news, then he or she will no longer be in a position to take timely corrective action to keep the project on track to success.Then consider these informal definitions so that we know we’re talking about the same thing:Whistle blowing is reporting someone (usually your own management) for doing something illegal or unethical. (Like intelligent disobedience from the questions on the Project Scope Module, we are well advised to pick our battles wisely. Even the Federal whistle blowing office admits that whistleblowers generally are retaliated against, even though that is illegal.)Recall that in this context, intelligent disobedience, like civil disobedience, is refusing to go along with something that is unethical (whether it’s legal or not), while fully realizing that we may be punished or penalized for disobeying, and being willing to take the penalty for the “greater cause”. As Harry Truman said, “if you can’t take the heat, stay out of the kitchen.” The “intelligent” part comes from not being belligerent and especially from picking our battles wisely. Insubordination, on the other hand, is probably less-than-intelligent, since it seems to usually be belligerent, not pick its battles wisely, and not be for a greater cause such as ethics. It usually results in management taking career-threatening actions against the employee.Finally, there’s just garden variety differences of opinion. While it should be obvious that that should always be encouraged — two heads are better than one, after all — nevertheless, in some organizations, it actually isn’t!

Non-Experimental Research Methods: Ethnography 
For qualitative research, some variables of study can only be collected through certain methods. For example, some studies may utilize interviews whereas others may use observations (Privitera, 2017). The method dictates which approach is best and like quantitative methods, not all qualitative methods will work with every given research issue. For ethnography, its primary application is for approaching a given culture or group to better understand how it functions (how it exists/members co-exist, beliefs that are shared, forms involved, customs, and so on; Privitera, 2017). Data are typically gathered through observation, where the researcher often becomes a participant (i.e., joining the group), directly learning but through a complete relationship with the group or culture. 
This week, you will evaluate the development and application of ethnography. 
Pt 1:
You will now add information from this week’s materials to your Research Chart. 
In the corresponding section, provide the name(s) of the method you reviewed, its primary use and when it should be used, strengths and limitations of the method, ethical considerations, and one example of when the method could be used (include your interests or something more general).
Length: Updated research chart, not including title and reference pages. Be sure to cite this week’s resources used in your assignment. 
Pt 2:
You will now assess a scenario related to ethnography. You are invited to be creative with the scenarios concerning how they relate to the method and the questions posed for evaluation. 
Here is the scenario for this week: 
As a sports psychologist, you have been asked to study superstition practices among NFL sports teams. 
In approach to this scenario, prepare a brief paper evaluating the following: 

Explain how this scenario qualifies as a potential ethnography study.
Determine if this culture is a micro-level group or a macro-level group. Explain and support your answer.
Explore how you would use participant observation in this scenario.
Explain how issues associated with participant observation may affect this study.
Explain the role of emic vs. etic perspectives in ethnographic research.
Recommend how to mitigate these potential issues. 

Support your assignment with at least one scholarly resource. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including seminal articles, may be included.

Length: 1-2 pages, not including title and reference pages
Your assignment should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards. 
Pt 3:
For this week’s reflection, consider the following points: 

Explain the research situations that may require you to use ethnography (be sure to give examples/be specific).
Examine common challenges learned about this method and its use.
Analyze any ethical considerations with implementing this method based on overarching ethical issues that can occur in qualitative research.
Reflect on your experience with this week’s scenario activity.
Include any questions you may have for your professor.

Objective:1.Explain the role of nursing research within clinical practice. Topic:OverviewIn this assignment, you will describe a patient problem that you see or have seen in practice. You will then identify, revise, or develop a policy, protocol, algorithm, or standardized guideline to be used in your practice site that is based on current research evidence. You are proposing the implementation of an intervention that is supported by research; thus you are proposing an evidence-based practice (EBP) project. You are not proposing astudy to be conducted in your agency.Your final paper should be no more than 5 pages, which does not include the protocol, policy, or algorithm, and references for your project.Ideas for Selection of an Evidence-Based Intervention for PracticeDescribe a patient problem that is relevant to your practice. It can be any patient care problem or issue that is of interest to you in your current practice or for your future role as an administrator. Find an intervention that is considered effective based on research to manage this problem. Important clinical areas that have been researched include the following:- IV and/or arterial line management- Infection control problems—select a specific situation- Pain identification, documentation, and/or management- Visitation in ICUs- Family involvement intervention based on research- Nurse Retention intervention- Alternative staffing process- Safety—pick a specific situation and implement a research-based intervention to manage it.- Shift of care from hospital to home and/or ambulatory care centers- Nursing leadership—effective leadership behavior that is research based- Communication of shift report in specialized way based on research- Provision of specific aspect of care (research-based intervention) to patients with illness such as hypertension, diabetes, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive lung disease, asthma, obesity, renal problems, gastrointestinal problems, or mental health problems. -Include the following in your paper: Introduction—provide a brief introduction of your paper including a purpose statement at the end of the introduction (one paragraph) Summarize your project topic—include a summary of the patient problem project you chose and the rationale for choosing it; provide support for choosing your topic from the healthcare literature showing that this is a patient problem (2-3 paragraphs) Literature review—include relevant scholarly, peer-reviewed articles that discuss your patient problem and the proposed intervention. Summarize what is known and not know about the problem selected. At least 3-5 articles should be included in your literature review. (3-5 paragraphs)Proposed Change—Discuss your revision/identification/development of a policy/protocol/algorithm/standardized guideline to be used in your practice site; analyze how it will be implemented and potential affected parties. (provide a copy as an appendix to your paper with any relevant references included) If you are revising a current policy/protocol, please include the original, as well. (3-5 paragraphs) Conclusion—Summarize your paper including your patient problem and proposed change; do not introduce new information here, simply synthesis the information you provided in your paper.
